which statements about the line that passes through (-2,0) and (2,-4) are true? select all that apply

Sagot :

For this case we have the following points given:

[tex](x_1=-2,y_1=0),(x_2=2,y_2=-4)[/tex]

And the slope is given by:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

And replacing we got:

[tex]m=\frac{-4-0}{2-(-2)}=\frac{-4}{4}=-1[/tex]

The equation for the line is be given by:

[tex]0=-1(-2)+b[/tex][tex]b=-2[/tex]

And the equation would be given by:

[tex]y=-x-2[/tex]

And the intersection points would be:

x=0 y=-2. (y intercept)

y=0, x=-2. (x intercept)

The best answer would be:

B , C and D
